You’re Invited! ❤️‍🩹

What: Women’s Caregiver Luncheon
Date: April 15th
Time: 11:30am
RSVP: Brainxcite.com/events

I want to share with you an exciting upcoming Women’s Caregiver Luncheon hosted by the nonprofit Brainxcite, which serves the Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) community across Oklahoma!

It’s happening on Tuesday, April 15th at 11:30 AM at the beautiful Dunlap Codding event space (609 W. Sheridan Ave., Oklahoma City).

This special event is for women who care for TBI survivors—and it’s completely free. It’s our way of honoring and supporting the vital role you play. If that’s you, please RSVP at www.brainxcite.com/events

We’re honored to welcome Lisa Boone, a local author and mother of TBI survivor Jessica Boone, who will share her powerful and heartfelt story. We’ll also host a Q&A panel to create space for conversation, support, and shared experience.

Every attendee will receive a meaningful gift, and we’re deeply grateful to Lisa for donating proceeds from her book to Brainxcite.

We’ll be serving a relaxed, picnic-style lunch, so come as you are—for connection, encouragement, and a much-deserved moment of rest.

We hope to see you there!

Hello Friends, (Denver Speaking)

Thank you so much for your prayers. 🙏🏻

My mother is out of surgery and is moving toward recovery. She is in good spirits and is looking forward to responding to each of you directly. ☺️

My brother Boston has a concussion and a little head trauma. He was released Saturday afternoon, but is showing new signs of injury, so we are back in the ER having a CT scan to rule out anything missed.

Please be in prayer that my family will have the strength and mental capability to provide the very best care possible for both Linda and Boston.

Thank you so much,

Denver

This is Denver texting on behalf of my mom Linda.

In Luke 10:25-37 - it speaks about the Parable of the Good Samaritan.

Well Linda and Boston experienced this last night by a man named Jason Reebo Carnell. 🙏🏻❤️

Thank you Jason, we are grateful for your service!

Y: Youth

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported to Congress in 2018 that of all the age groups, children have the highest rate of emergency room visits from TBI. While this can be attributable to parents being more inclined to take a child to the hospital than an adult might be inclined to take themselves, it speaks to a specific problem: brain injury affects children differently than it affects adults. A brain injury in a child can impact the way their brain, and any system in the body connected to the brain (all of them), develops as the child ages. Behavioral and cognitive changes might be mistaken for developmental changes or learning disabilities. Older children might experience ostracization from peers, affecting their mental health. It is important that all children with brain injuries have an active and supporting team of medical providers as well as an active and supportive team of educational providers. Parents need to take an active role in communicating with teachers and administrators about their child’s needs (eg., obtaining an IEP or 504 plan) as well as training their children in self-advocacy. Children who can connect with other children with brain injuries often find a sense of empowerment that can be missing in the friend groups. Fortunately, a child’s brain is adaptable, but that adaptation takes time and patience from guardians and professionals as well as a healthy dose of love.

X: X-Ray and MRI

Scans can be important in the early detection of brain injuries. A series of x-rays can make up a CT scan which is used to detect skull fractures, brain bleeds and swelling. MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) is another scan that might be used to help detect a brain injury. This scan can look further into the damage that has occurred to assist in the prognosis of the brain injury.

W: Wernicke’s Aphasia

Aphasia is a disorder that might be diagnosed after a brain injury and it affects the comprehension and expression of language. There are two specific types of aphasia that are diagnosed based on how language after a brain injury presents itself. One is called Wernicke’s Aphasia. Wernicke’s Aphasia affects the comprehension of language. Someone diagnosed with this type of aphasia might use words that seem random in the sentence or they might make up words but speech still seems to flow properly when having a conversation.

V: Vestibular Therapy

Someone might experience vestibular dysfunction after sustaining a brain injury which means they could experience dizziness, vertigo and imbalance, etc. Vestibular therapy can assist with lessening these symptoms by encouraging the brain to use other senses to compensate for deficits in the vestibular system through specialized exercises.

U: Understanding Caregivers

Brain injury affects the whole family. Often, family members find themselves suddenly in a caregiver role, as they deal with ambiguous loss and an overwhelming amount of information. For an extensive list of caregiver resources, visit: https://www.brainline.org/caregivers/caregiver-basics
